Imago. — Male. Upperside dull violet-blue. Forewing with the costal half 

 narrowly black, from whence it expands rapidly outwards, the apex being very broadly 

 black, the outer marginal band narrower, but also fairly broad, its inner edge being a 

 little excavated in its middle, the dull blue colour overshadows the black margins, 

 making them somewhat obscure. Ilindioing with the outer marginal band nearly 

 thrice as broad as it is on the forewing, paler black and still more obscure ; abdominal 

 fold very little paler than the rest of the wing ; tail black, tipped with white. Cilia 

 white, black at the base. Underside pale grey. Forewing with a pale brownish-grey 

 thin bar edged with white at the end of the cell, a discal rather broad, darker brown 

 band, edged with white on both sides, outwardly oblique from the costa to vein 3, then 

 straight down across the next interspace, where it is broken, and has a short straight 

 band inside in continuation ; three macular and somewhat lunular, indistinct pale grey 

 thin bands between the discal band and the margin, the hinder part of the middle 

 series with the spots enlarged and darker than the rest. Ilindioing with the bands 

 paler, very slightly darker than the ground colour, indicated by their white edgings, a 

 narrow bar at the end of the cell, a discal slightly outwardly curved band, about as 

 broad as the discal band of the forewing, from the costa to vein 2, where it curves 

 round in a couple of indistinct spots to the abdominal margin, three macular bands 

 between it and the margin, the inner one the narrowest, a brown terminal line with a 

 blue-grey line inside it, a narrow sub-terminal lunular black spot in each of the two 

 anal interspaces, both capped with pale orange. 



Female, like the male above and below, but the black obscure bands above are 

 broader. 



Expanse of wings, $ ? ly% to 1^^ inches. 



Larva, when full grown about 0*6 of an inch in length ; onisciform, nearly 

 cylindrical ; coloration a pale rose-pink, vinous or pale yellowish-green ; second segment
